BLACK ARCHIVES IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

This course historicizes Black archive studies and its theoretical development across literary studies. Inspired by Schomburg’s call “to dig up our past,” it explores how black writers, collectors, and librarians across the twentieth-century resisted long-standing efforts to bury, silence, and overwrite black experience and their contributions.
